K. Annamalainathan et al., EFFECT OF IRRADIATION AND GROWTH-REGULATORS ON DEGRADATION PROCESSES IN DETACHED SOYBEAN LEAVES, Biologia plantarum, 38(2), 1996, pp. 289-292
Changes in soluble protein profile and chlorophyll (Chl) content in de
tached soybean leaves incubated in darkness or light were delayed by a
pplication of benzyladenine or indole-3-acetic acid and enhanced by ab
scisic acid. The degradation in light differed significantly from the
degradation in darkness. Chl and proteins were lost at a higher rate i
n darkness than in light.
